Hello! You apparently blocked me indefinitely, it's funny when an admin does such actions witout any clue in what's going on. the thing is, Tadeusz Kościuszko is ethnicaly Belarusian, yet for a reason some user deletes the references to that and the categories coming along. Another user doesn't know the difference between nationality and ethnicity and tries to write Tadeusz Kościuszko as an ethnic Pole (like Poles), which he isn't (he's a Pole by nationality). Before baning people, learn the case. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.170.41 ( talk) 15:17, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I understand that the reason why that was deleted was because it was copyrighted and there was no fair use rationale to support the image.

I can see that the basis I used for nominating the articles for deletion (not notable) was not in keeping with the practices of Wikipedia. It was not my intention however to be a disruption. There are major issues with these articles. In fact I saw in the AFD comments that it was suggested more than once that these were attack articles and I completely agree. I would say that it goes farther they are also violating WP: Coatrack. It should be noted that these articles were created by the same person (Cirt) within a couple of days of each other. Cirt has had a long standing POV crusade regarding groups and organizations he considered to be “cults” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cirt/Contributions). His crusade led him to be banned 7 times under a previous user account.
All of that being said, I really do appreciate your message.

Hi,
I noticed that at 17:49 on 30 March 2010 Alexking321 made a change username request here this which, there being no obvious reason not to, you did for him/her at 19:23 on 30 March 2010 see this edit.
However Alexking321 was recreated at 19:24 on 30 March 2010 see here and has made edits to articles that the original Alexking321 now WikiRecontributer47 had edited.
Just thought that this looks somewhat unusual given the reason for the user name change and given that the original Alexking321 was blocked for disruptive editing, it gives the impression that he or she may be trying to start over. Codf1977 ( talk) 20:33, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Nihonjoe. The Agency for Cultural Affairs's Japanese Cinema Database has recently changed its urls, dead-linking dozens of sources in our Japanese film articles. What used to be, for example, " http://www.japanese-cinema-db.jp/searchDetails.php?id=11402" is now " http://www.japanese-cinema-db.jp/details/11402" Do you know of anyone with a bot who would be willing to run it to fix the dozens of such links? Apologies, as I know this is not the proper place to make such a request, but I haven't had many good interactions with bot people in the past and thought you might know one who would be willing to do this task (rather than, say, deleting every one of the refs as "spam" ;-) Regards. Dekkappai ( talk) 17:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Greeting,
I want to say, I agree with your decision of not changing the account name. Presumably, it wouldn't have happened that I didn't tell the story of this account. This openness is necessary for progress of both civilization and Wikipedia. Since this account was not mine, I thought to should say it. The person before me, as much as had a desire for improvement, she had no knowledge of the ability to do so, after uncomfortable conversations and misunderstandings, and not enough time to be here, becoming more than frustration to be here, the account was more times 'deleted'. Couldn't to see her more in this state, after telling me about the desire, I proposed my help. We daily talk about each step, so she decided to change the account name to something new, as a account new beginning. Three days ago, at night after work I decided to declare for the name change. What I didn't look about is how would express it, and dropped a reasonable suspicion. I would like in her name, to forgive my error and change the account name. Best regards-- GreyWolfy ( talk) 17:54, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

On EN.Wikipedia it looks that some one has already opened an account using Wikimk as user name (here: [11]), so I cannot use it to edit. Since that person does not have any edits (the account has been open since 10 May 2007) I would like to ask you for an assistance in order for me to able to edit here using my current user name.
I asked for assistance (here [12] and here [13]) and it was told to me that i need to contact bureaucrat for this purpose.
So, could you please help me with this?
Thank you.

Joe, out of respect for you and the consistently good work you do, I will be as polite as I can. You don't need to "break" anything to me, I am fully aware of MOSDAB, and I am sure you have read Wikipedia:Wikilawyering, specifically the bit about Asserting that technical interpretation of Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines should override the underlying principles they express. I am just as sure that those editors have not read it, or if so, disregard it. That disambig was perfectly fine as it was, compared to hundreds I have come across in shit shape. How do you or those editors justify those other disambigs remaining in that condition, in light of this badgering?

I wonder if you could give me some advice. I'd really like to start expanding stubs that are part of wikiproject Japan by translating from Japanese wikipedia, but I'm not sure what the proper procedures are for doing so. I don't want to get stuck in before I really know what I'm doing. I'm particularly worried about causing disharmony by not communicating clearly with other people involved in the project about what I'm doing - for example, how do I know that nobody else is translating a particular article? Should I be concerned if the article I am translating from has few references? Any general advice would be most appreciated Rupa zero ( talk)

Please! I beg you! Let me explain! The reason why I could only use A1DF67 was because my edit history in my Special:Contributions and the history pages of articles had to be attached to my account. If this account is renamed Bowei Huang 2, then my edit history is still attached, it's not dumped. If it is renamed, then I promise that I will never ever edit from User:A1DF67 again. If it is renamed, then I will still only use this account, but it has a different name. I am going to still use this account, but I just simply want it to have a different name. This decision doesn't say that I can't change its name. So can you please just simply let me change its name?

I undid your edits to the math rating templates. The redirection to Template:WikiProject Mathematics is intentional, because it helps educate people that they should not merely place the template on a talk page, but should fill in all the parameters simultaneously. In other words, if someone naively guesses "WikiProject Mathematics" as the name of a template, we want to give them a note that for our project they need to fill in additional assessment information. The mathematics project already has a list of mathematics articles that is unrelated to talk page tags, and so there is no reason to add our assessment banner without actually assessing the article in question. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 19:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Arbitrator Risker has posed a number of questions relevant to the mentors, and members of the committee would like to see them answered. Thank you, ~ Amory ( u • t • c) 19:31, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi Joe, I was um writing my vote when you closed the RfA. I hit save and saw the pale red page. Admittedly i had the edit open for a while as i was drafting my vote. Don't suppose you want to allow it? delirious & lost ☯ ~hugs~ 10:14, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
As a candidate, I am allowed to have a 7-day run at rFA. Per WP:NOTNOW, the information page you cited for closing my rFA, I am allowed to ask you to let me complete my 7 day run. Thank you in advance, as I would like to hear the opinions of even more members of the community. ( WP:NOTNOW#What to do if your RfA was closed early). Raa G gio (talk) 12:40, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Personally, I think reopening this RFA would be a complete waste of everybody's time. Part of a bureaucrat's job is to determine when RFAs should be closed, and if they think it should close then it should close, simple as. Aiken ♫ 21:32, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Template:WikiProject Shinto/to do has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. WOSlinker ( talk) 12:23, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
I wonder if you could give me some advice. I'd really like to start expanding stubs that are part of wikiproject Japan by translating from Japanese wikipedia, but I'm not sure what the proper procedures are for doing so. I don't want to get stuck in before I really know what I'm doing. I'm particularly worried about causing disharmony by not communicating clearly with other people involved in the project about what I'm doing - for example, how do I know that nobody else is translating a particular article? Should I be concerned if the article I am translating from has few references? Any general advice would be most appreciated Rupa zero ( talk)

Hi. I just wanted to advise you that the unblock request at Turian's page had already been declined, and he reverted the administrator's declining of it. I was about to leave a message about why this was problematic under Wikipedia:User page#Removal of comments, notices, and warnings and WP:PARENT, but edit-conflicted with you. You may still, of course, regard the unblocking as reasonable, but I felt you should be made aware that you have inadvertently been drawn into a "wheel" situation. :/ -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:17, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
I just wanted to apologise for my wrongdoings and thanks for sorting things out. I feel I need to leave so I shouldn't be any more trouble here. I am giving this barnstar as a small token of appreciation.

Please! I beg you! Let me explain! The reason why I could only use A1DF67 was because my edit history in my Special:Contributions and the history pages of articles had to be attached to my account. If this account is renamed Bowei Huang 2, then my edit history is still attached, it's not dumped. If it is renamed, then I promise that I will never ever edit from User:A1DF67 again. If it is renamed, then I will still only use this account, but it has a different name. I am going to still use this account, but I just simply want it to have a different name. This decision doesn't say that I can't change its name. So can you please just simply let me change its name?

Hi 穣! I think Seki Kōwa should be moved "Seki Takakazu". The ja article is Seki Takakazu and an asteroid named after him is 7483 Sekitakakazu. The article was once moved, but it seemed to be moved back, and I couldn't move it. Please help me. Thank you. Oda Mari ( talk) 15:32, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
I undid your edits to the math rating templates. The redirection to Template:WikiProject Mathematics is intentional, because it helps educate people that they should not merely place the template on a talk page, but should fill in all the parameters simultaneously. In other words, if someone naively guesses "WikiProject Mathematics" as the name of a template, we want to give them a note that for our project they need to fill in additional assessment information. The mathematics project already has a list of mathematics articles that is unrelated to talk page tags, and so there is no reason to add our assessment banner without actually assessing the article in question. — Carl ( CBM · talk) 19:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
